Chapter 230 Never stop learning
When Song Zhenzhu came to Zhizhi to restock, she also told Zhizhi about Xu Shanshan looking for her.
Zhizhi simply told Song Zhenzhu about Xu Shanshan's identity.
Upon learning that Xu Shanshan was Zhizhi's biological mother and Wen Changyu's wife, Song Zhenzhu's mouth gaped open wide enough to swallow an egg.
Fortunately, Song Zhenzhu was a sensible person and didn't ask any further questions.
I simply coordinated the payment with Zhizhi.
In just a few days, Zhizhi earned nearly two hundred yuan through Song Zhenzhu.
After making money, Song Zhenzhu specially treated Zhizhi and Wu Caifeng, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to a meal.
Just like Zhizhi ordered last time, I ordered braised pork and also bought her a soft drink.
She said to Zhizhi, "You and the Commander are truly benefactors to us, mother and daughter." Song Zhenzhu said, raising the soda beside her. "I'm not good with words, so I'll use this instead of alcohol. Zhizhi, I'll toast you."
"I really... am especially grateful to you and the Commander..."
Zhizhi clinked glasses with her, saying, "Don't be so polite, you're making money for me too!"
Song Zhenzhu kept shaking her head, "You deserve all of this. If you tell this method to anyone, you can't make money!"
"Let's make money together in the future," Zhizhi said!
Song Zhenzhu nodded with red eyes, "Yes, let's make money together!"
Back in her hometown, everyone wanted to eat her, this widow and orphan.
Once outside, Song Zhenzhu discovered that it wasn't raining at all.
Everyone... everyone is doing well.
Song Zhenzhu's second batch of goods sold out in less than two days.
When she came to pick up the goods, she told Zhizhi, "Xiaoyue has set up her own shelf and started selling in other places. I didn't expect it to sell so well. It's sold out again."
"Zhizhi, do you have any more of this?"
"Yes, there must be."
She was prepared to work overtime to finish it.
Just as Zhizhi was wondering if she should ask someone for help, Zhou Lin told her that Zhou Chan was on vacation and would be coming to Beijing tomorrow.
"Is this really like a pillow coming to someone who's sleepy?"
Zhou Lin: "??"
"Business is booming, we don't have enough stock to sell, we urgently need help!"
"I can help you sew on the hair accessory."
Zhizhi shook her head. "We have sewing machines now, no need to sew by hand, it's too slow!"
"I don't know how to do this, can you teach me?"
Zhizhi said, "...You are so eager to learn."
Zhou Lin nodded. "Yes, one is never too old to learn."
Zhizhi stared at him and thought there was a job that was perfect for him, so she taught him how to make bracelets by hand.
The whole family worked overtime, especially Wu Caifeng.
The old lady spent almost all her time, except when eating and sleeping, stringing prayer beads.
She gets up before dawn, and if Zhou Lin and Zhizhi don't urge her several times at night, she absolutely won't want to go to sleep.
Wu Caifeng often says, "When I think about how the money I earn from this bracelet can buy half a pound of meat, I can't sleep. I wish I could work without eating or drinking."
Zhizhi said, "Mom, health is the foundation of everything."
"Only with good health can you make a steady stream of money. If you get sick and have to take several days off, then you're finished."
Wu Caifeng shook her head, "No, I'm perfectly healthy!"
The old lady had already learned how to use a sewing machine, so she was either sewing bracelets, hair accessories, or bows.
Amidst all this busyness, Zhou Chan's summer vacation arrived.
Zhou Chan was assigned work the very afternoon she arrived.
Wu Caifeng pulled her to make a bracelet. Zhizhi felt that it was best to learn filigree from her so that she wouldn't run out of stock when she had a baby.
Wu Caifeng made the decision: "Anyway, we'll both go set up the stall. She can stay home in the morning to make the bracelets, and when you come back in the afternoon, she can learn this from you."
Zhou Chan nodded obediently, "Are you going to sell all of these?"
Wu Caifeng immediately told her daughter proudly, "Your sister-in-law makes a lot of money selling this, and she even supplies other people with it!"
"You better help your sister-in-law with her work. She bought you clothes even before you arrived!"
As Wu Caifeng spoke, she went inside and took the dress that Zhizhi had bought for Zhou Chan, handing it to Zhou Chan and saying, "Look how pretty it is! It's very expensive, costing several tens of yuan!"
“I said it was too expensive, but your sister-in-law said that expensive things look good and she would let you wear it without feeling bad about it.”
"You'd better work hard, you hear me!"
Zhou Chan was wearing faded blue cloth trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt with small blue flowers, which Wu Caifeng had asked a tailor to make when she went to the next episode.
It wasn't exactly dilapidated, but when I was in college in Jiangcheng, it couldn't compare to the fashionable female classmates.
However, Zhou Chan didn't compare herself to others. She knew she came from a rural area, and her goal was to study hard and get a stable job.
But what girl doesn't love to be pretty, especially at that age when she loves to look pretty?
Taking the soft, well-fitting, and brightly colored dress, Zhou Chan blushed and thanked Zhizhi, "Thank you... thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhizhi immediately waved her hand generously, "No need to thank me, it's nothing valuable."
Zhou Chan also brought out the gift she had brought for Zhizhi: a pair of trendy light blue plastic sandals, a product of this era.
It cost Zhou Chan three yuan, which she had squeezed out of her living expenses.
I went out specifically to buy it because I was coming to Beijing.
Now, when she takes it out and compares it with the things her sister-in-law gave her, it looks too shabby.
"I went out with my classmates and thought they looked nice, so I bought a pair. I don't know if they'll fit you, sister-in-law." Although she felt they were shabby, Zhou Chan still gave them to Zhizhi.
She felt it would be even more inappropriate for her to come empty-handed without bringing anything.
Zhizhi accepted the gift with a look of surprise and delight. "Did you bring this especially for me?"
"Thank you, Xiao Chan. I really like it, I really, I love it!"
"Thank you!"
Zhou Chan was happy to see that she really liked it, "It's worthless, as long as you like it!"
Zhizhi immediately took off her shoes, put them on, and stomped around a couple of times. "What's valuable or not? You came all this way for me, and the thought behind it is the greatest value!"
"Your sister-in-law will treat you to a meal at a restaurant tonight."
Zhou Chan immediately waved her hand, "No... no need to eat out. My second brother took me to eat at a state-run restaurant for lunch."
"It's okay, we'll go again tonight, your wife has money!"
Zhou Chan looked at Wu Caifeng, hoping her mother could help persuade her.
But Wu Caifeng had been living a life of luxury with her daughter-in-law for a long time and seemed to have gotten used to it. She kept bragging to her daughter, "Your sister-in-law makes so much money. She earns more in a day than you can earn in a year."
Zhou Chan “…”
"Then I'll help with the work!"
Wu Caifeng nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, get to work. Your sister-in-law is supplying goods to others now, and she can't even make enough to meet the demand every day."
Not long after Zhou Chan arrived, Wen Changle and Wen Changxin, the two sisters, also brought their children to Beijing.
When the two sisters arrived in Beijing, the first thing they naturally wanted to do was to meet their niece.
He Yuzhi told the two of them, "Even if you go to their door now, you won't see anyone."
Wen Changle said, "Is Zhizhi still working at that cultural relics administration department?"
"I'm not doing business there anymore, I'm going into business now," He Yuzhi proudly told her daughter.
"Doing business?"
“Yes, I set up a stall at the entrance of the scenic area,” He Yuzhi said.
Wen Changle immediately disagreed, "Why didn't Zhou Lin stop her? Zhizhi is about to give birth."
